The snack starts off with pretzel nuggets that are filled with a blend of peanut butter and berry jam to achieve the signature taste of a peanut butter & jelly sandwich in a decidedly convenient way. The snack is characterized by its free-from recipe that is vegan-friendly, Non-GMO Project Verified, dairy-free, soy-free, wheat-free and corn-free. Founder and Chief Visionary Officer Kristy Lewis commented on the Quinn PB&J Berry pretzel nuggets saying, "Growing up I ate a lot of [peanut butter and jelly sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/favewich-sb-grape). My go-to was a mix of strawberry and raspberry jellies, combined with creamy peanut butter on whole-wheat bread. I ate them for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or as an on-the-go snack! It was my fuel during car trips, school lunches, and during the after-school shuffle."
